i'm cataloging days
with an eye sight dim and hazy
i'm breaking ice with my teeth
to feel new pain
there's not enough
there will never be enough
i'm competing with me
my shadow failures
follow me when i shine
just reminding me
i'm barely getting by
i'm saying words i can't live up to
about proof and policy
i'm holding myself to a past
that has nothing to do with you
it's just a hand shakes when it remembers
it's just something internal fails
when you recall how many days it's been
since you've seen truth revealed in another
in the room the book's laid on it's binding
and i'm crying on your shoulder
i can hear you breathe while comforting me
your perfect eyes washing over me
i'm finally someones somebody
and you say the same to me with your body
you've finally found you in me
and i've done the same.
so now we can finally tear the glossary out of me
and now we can remove the past tense from you
we've got so much more to write together.
